With the International Traders Conference just over three weeks away, we thought it would be a good idea to offer anyone wanting to deepen their Forex trading knowledge a look at what goes on within the conference. The ITC is an event hosted by FXstreet.com, one of the world’s top 10 currency trading portals offering information to help traders achieve success in Forex investing. Since the conference is purely educational, FXstreet.com’s focus was directed primarily into seeking out six of the best industry professionals to help attendees become better traders. For three days, guests will be able to partake in a series of talks and interactive live trading sessions with the speakers, as well as connect with others who share the same interests as them.

What makes this event so special is its vivacious, warm, and social atmosphere. Since there is a maximum of 70 attendees each year, the event remains very personal, allowing guests to work closely with the speakers. For three hours each day, they will be able to engage in live trading sessions with each of the six speakers where they will get to follow along with their trading on their own computers and even partake in a few trades themselves.

Below are some photos taken at the last ITC, which took place in 2010:

Noemí, Content Director at FXstreet.com, was able to get a Skype interview with professional Forex trader and educator Rob Booker! Here, he provides insight on what the ITC is really about —> Rob Booker Interview.

Having the opportunity to interact with others who are passionate about improving their Forex trading skills is what makes the ITC such a unique event. Here is what a four-year attendee from Greece had to say about the conference:

“I have participated to the ITC from the first venue up to the most recent. This says a lot about my liking for a venue like that. I have no relationship whatsoever with the organizers so the decision to come from my country and attend was merely based on the merits that I receive towards my strive to become a better trader. The atmosphere, the organizers and the speakers have always been exceptional.
I went the first year and then thought that I might not go again cause I had a lot of information to digest. But likely each year has been so different, especially  the info that you can implement to your trading.
For me the motivational aspect of the ITC is the biggest  bonus as you get to meet with very interesting people and exchange ideas and cultures from all over the world!!
The way the ITC is organized  is unique on how you learn,  interact,  meet  and talk to speakers. All the concepts covered are immediately analyzed and applied during the live trading sessions.”

It’s that time of year again, ITC Barcelona! FXstreet.com presents the International Traders Conference from October 20-22. As a social community we love conferences. It gives traders the opportunity to meet fellow traders, learn new strategies, and view experts in their element. We, at Currensee, are consistently producing live webinars for just this reason. We are firm believers that learning, especially in regards to trading, is a collaborative experience.

Take a look at the line-up of experts this years’ ITC will have. This conference is one of the few opportunities where YOU are participating in a live trading session WITH Forex experts.

This isn’t a traditional conference with limited contact and more brochures than you know what to do with. Instead groups with a maximum of 10 attendees will be live trading with a team leader who is one of the guest speakers for ITC. Each session you, the attendee, will be in a group with a different expert. That way, in each session, you are able to learn different approaches to trading. The groups are small in order to create a very comfortable atmosphere where experiences and techniques can be shared. Participation and questions are not only welcome, but encouraged.

Rob Booker who has been Guest Speaker of the ITC every year since 2007 will be back again this year! He says:

“The International Traders Conference is, for me, the most important gathering of currency traders every year, sponsored by the company that knows us better than anyone – FXstreet. People come to this conference and build relationships that last for years afterward – there are still attendees meeting together online 4 years after the first conference. I think the relationships that I build with other traders, and with the traders who come to teach – I think those relationships make the conference special for me, and something that I just can’t miss. It’s the perfect mix of live trading, team-building, and instruction in the latest trading techniques from some of the hardest working traders in the business.”

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves. And in case you’d like to hear what FXstreet.com has to say about the conference here’s some insight from CEO, Francesc Riverola:

“We want the ITC to be something different than just a Forex workshop or convention: we try to provide the best-ever experience so we care not only for the quality of the education but also for the human experience the traders will take back home.

With the ITC, we just not welcome forex traders from around the world to Barcelona, we nearly move our office to the event so we can live with our guests for three very special days…, it is an unforgettable experience for us and it’s our annual opportunity to meet our visitors face to face.”
